Microfiction Monday #44 Periscope up!

Susan from 'Stony River' organises and hosts this weekly meme. Thank you Susan J She provides a picture and the challenge is to create a story in 140 characters or less – including punctuation! Click here to read more marvels of microfiction – and perhaps join in. It's fun!

Here is this week's picture. There's a Flanders and Swann song called 'There's a bird on my head' and this image reminded me of it.

My offering with apologies to Keats ;-)

Oh, what can ail thee, Knight at arms?

What's this thing on top me 'elmet – a periscope? I ain't going in water for no-one. This stuff rusts!

Very good, Jabblog! Not many entries made reference to the "periscope." Further . . . the suit seems to narrow a lot at the waist. I wondered if it was the ladies' model . . a sort of full-length, all-embrasing chastity belt.
